fundación

oh my gosh, we have cement in the ground. i know there are other folks with blogs who are all starry eyed and optimistic once they see this on their lots, but what can i say? we're at that point now, and it's great!




the house will have a carport at the front of the property that will be painted a vivid green color. hopefully we will be able to keep the landscaping in front of it the same. jed is enjoying the camera on his new phone so here's a sample of one of my favorite photo subjects - people taking photos.

next step is hopefully the rest of the foundation. i make my own pieces with concrete, so i know every project is different. it's a complete toss up as far as the finished look of the aggregate once they grind the surface down (fingers crossed).
